First, the hurricane, then our poor emergency & follow-up response and Trump's insults.

Next, he implies they've done a great job and "nothing to see here". Americans will hear this and stop paying attention to the still terrible situation and some will stop contributing to the desperately needed charities doing good work there.

Lock him up!

The major media outlets need to stay on top of the situation there because of American's very short memory. And, the recoveries in Texas, Florida and California.
